In-House Work for Gun Interactive
Website
I designed a new website for Gun Interactive with a focus on user experience and accessibility. It features Swiss-inspired elements like a grid layout and Helvetica Neue typeface, combined with horror imagery. To ensure ease of content updates by colleagues of varying experience, I used Squarespace for its user-friendly tools and tutorials, and due to the absence of an in-house web developer.
Digital Imagery for Fan Communication
Created digital imagery and content to effectively communicate with fans of Gun Interactive's games. For in-house digital messaging, we channeled a vintage horror comic style that spoke well to our fans. This included engaging social media posts, newsletter graphics, and other digital assets designed to resonate with the gaming community. Zombie portraits created by an contract illustrator
